Listen "Ep 57: Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer in Love Affair (1939)"
Episode Synopsis
Among the stars of woman's pictures, Irene Dunne was arguably the most scandal-proof, even when she lived apart from her husband during the first six years of her career in Hollywood. But Irene often played women who were carried away by passion. During a transatlantic voyage, her character meets Charles Boyer, a man whose romantic conquests dominate international news. Irene shakes up the great lover's flirt game with some quality sass mouth.
Boyer is the ultimate swoon merchant, a man who starts out with pick up lines, yet in time, transformed by love, wants nothing more than to be worthy of her. Love Affair remains a standout because of its fearless embrace of love, faith, and pure emotion.
